Consequences for Gloucestershire Impact on existing permitted reserves – are these sufficient to meet the local apportionment? Likelihood of preferred areas already identified in the adopted Minerals Local Plan being brought forward – should these continue to play a role? Will ‘new’ preferred areas need to considered in the future? Is their enough local / environmental capacity to accept further mineral working – Issue of future working in the AONB, Bird-strike issues, highway network?
